              Gov. Mario Cuomo proposed a 5 1/2 percent cut in Bundy aid in his January budget. This cut would have decreased the amountof Bundy aid received by Canisius by $110,000. Canisius currently receives Si. 17 million. Under the current grant levels, which were restored on Wednesday, an associate's degree earns the awarding institution $600; an bachelor's degree $1500; a master's degree $950; and a doctoral degree $4500. Bundy aid is state funding for private colleges and universities based on a formula which calls for a certain amount of money to be paid for the awarding of associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees. "And since the [proposed cut] was not an extremely deep one it might well have been one that people thought could be 'lived with' and not restored," he added. restoration was by no means a foregone conclusion," Schimminger said.
